Enhancements

The following new features are available in this release:

• Deployment Manager now enables users on Pega Platform 8.1.x through 8.5.1 to use the enhancements introduced in Deployment Manager 5.1.
  Note: Revision management users of Deployment Manager are not recommended to promote to Deployment Manager 4.8.4. To use the business change pipeline feature in Deployment Manager 5.1, candidate environments must be on Pega Platform 8.5.2 or later. Refer to Deployment Manager 5.1 documentation if the candidate is managed by 5.1 systems.
• If candidate systems are between Pega Platform 8.1 and Pega Platform 8.5.1, the candidate must have 4.8.4 Pega DevOps Foundation. If candidates are managed by an orchestrator on version 5 or later, you must create the PegaDevopsShared configuration set it to true. If not set, the candidate will fall back to using the older 4.x APIs for interactions with Deployment Manager and the pipelines will not be functional if using a 5.x orchestrator. Creating this configuration and setting it to true ensures the candidates leverage the 5.x API service.
